Im building a computer for video editing and gaming. I kinda went over my budget a little and i was wondering what you think of the setup and if i could cut some corners in the price (cheaper MoBo). Here are the specs:

Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 (I had a Amd FX 4100 but this is better and i want to run hackintosh, Can I run it?)

Mother Board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157271

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314

Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035 (i might do duel GPU later on)

Graphic Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500193

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144266

Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136891 (do I need 2 Drives for windows and Hackintosh?)

Can this Run hackintosh and do you see any corners i can cut?

I don't know anything about Hackintosh but I would ditch Raidmax and Apevia - absolutely awful brands. For the PSU switch that to a Corsair Builder series and the case to a Cooler Master HAF 912.

And I haven't necessarily heard good things about Zotac - EVGA would be a better pick. Try these:

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027
Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625

The only corner I could see cutting would be to drop the i5-2500K to the i5-2400.
